The kits you find available are for 1/2-3/4 tons. However, I did read that someone installed one of those kits on their 1.5 ton and he said it works great....plenty of stopping power with heavy loads.
It made me wonder how that would work...is it because a smaller M/C (1" vs 1.25") is suppling the same amount of fluid to two brake wheel cylinders (because you now have a reservoir for front and rear) that the old M/C supplied to four brake wheel cylinders? I don't know..........it's above my pay grade!
All I know is I would like to convert to a dual M/C with booster like you do and I haven't found a way to do it yet. Let me know if you come up with something.
